**Do you actually have a clue how difficult it would be to adulterate a major metropolitan water supply? Have you taken the time to comprehend the nearly incomprehensible volume of water moving through such a system? Or how many tanker trucks of poison it would take to create a dosage of any significance? I doubt it. Please take the time to educate yourself. You'll end up a lot less frightened of your own shadow and by the propaganda that the Bushistas endless spew to poison your mind. Now there is one poison flow that most assuredly is having its effect on the weak minded.**

i'll grant that it would be difficult. that was one example, and i'll grant you a bad one.

again, you fail to put your wealth where you are willing to put the lives of others...

**You are coming dangerously close to coming across as a crackpot with this silly "affirmation" nonsense. I won't take the pledge, and I don't drink the Kool-Aid.**

i comitted in support of my beliefs. b/c i'm willing to back up my view. you aren't. you want some hypothetical and, just like ritter, will claim, "there was no evidence, how could i have known," and expect sympathy for being wrong on this issue if saddam does attack.

we'll agree to disagree. however, even though you disagree with the details, you KNOW where i am going.

will you back up your belief that may put americans at risk with your resources? your answer - A RESOUNDING NO!

**Secondly, the very illogic of this pledge is risible.**

it shows your utter unwillingless to lose anything - even words on a message board - if you are wrong. shows your level of commitment, ray. strength of belief. oh, it also reveals you do understand the real likelihood you are wrong.

**A friend of mine sent me this recently:

If the Jews, Christians and Muslims would all just give up on their religious hatreds being allowed to mask greedy moves and territorial aggressions, the world would be a much happier place.

Salaam aleikum, Shalom, Peace NOW! Ray**

ray, don't take this off topic. you won't back up your belief. i argue there is an obvious reason.
